Question 1 of 61

Scenario · Code Generation with Claude Code

Developer A has been on the repository for six months and Claude Code applies the team's API naming conventions on every task. Developer B cloned the same branch last week and gets inconsistent naming from the first prompt onward. Both run the same Claude Code version. What is the most likely root cause?

Getting value out of these

Read every explanation, including on the questions you answered correctly. The exam is a judgement test: the distractors are all things a working engineer has actually tried, and the reason each one fails is the material. A right answer picked for the wrong reason will not survive a differently worded question.

When you get one wrong, the useful question is not what the right answer was but whether you reached for a workaround over a mechanism — a bigger context window instead of less context, an instruction in the prompt instead of a constraint in the orchestration layer. That pattern repeats across the whole exam, and noticing it is worth more than memorising any single item.

These are untimed on purpose. Pace is a separate skill and belongs in the timed mock exam, where 60 items in 120 minutes gives you roughly two minutes each on questions that take real reading.
